• Q: How to replace the power mirror switch on 2001 Buick Century?

  A: The replacement of the power Mirror Switch starts with disconnecting the Power Window Switch to deactivate the express up/down feature that speeds up door window operation. The Ignition Switch must be set to off to prevent switch shorting when using tools such as a screwdriver or awl. A protective layer of coating and tape needs to cover the inner door panel where the flat surface tool will enter to stop damage from occurring. To activate the switch mounting plate retainer insert the plastic flat-bladed tool at its front edge and apply rearward pressure. To free the mounting plate retainers use a small flat-bladed tool in order to remove the Power Window Switch. You will disconnect the Power Window Switch electrical connector before taking out the switch from the door. To install the assembly start by mounting the switch onto the plate and then connect its electrical wires and position the mounting plate correctly through the door panel opening before fastening it with a press.
